Agrochemicals

Taking a trip back to nature

If you’re looking to produce agrochemicals in a more sustainable way, look no further than our PURASOLV® lactate esters. Our solvents support sustainable production of healthier, stronger crops that resist disease and enable increased quality and quantity of food.

Solvency with PURASOLV

Our PURASOLV solvents deliver excellent solvency properties in many active ingredients. Thanks to their good solvency power, they can be combined with other environmentally benign solvents like vegetable oils to produce higher-loaded emulsion concentrates. And because of its low water solubility, PURASOLV EHL is an ideal solvent for the formulation of emulsion concentrates (lactate esters can also be applied as an adjuvant).

Synthesis of active ingredients

Our ability to produce both stereo-isomers [L(+) and D(-)] of lactic acid - one of the smallest, optically-active molecules – makes us unique in the industry. Our tailored products for chiral synthesis deliver excellent stereo-chemical and chemical purity. This in turn helps makes both PURAC lactic acid and PURASOLV lactate esters the ideal materials for synthesis of chiral products for the agrochemical industry.
